Proteins are fundamental components of all living organisms, serving as the molecular engines that drive life. Importantly, the functional properties of pr

At the end of male meiosis in the anther, plants produce 4 haploid (n) cells that are held together in a tetrad structure surrounded by a callose wall. Confocal image coloured by SR2200 stain in blue, contrasted with green autofluorescence signal. In the current issue, Schindfessel et al. analyse how heat stress interferes with normal meiotic cell cycle progression and leads to the production of diploid (2n) male gametes and polyploid offspring in the natural Arabidopsis thaliana population. They uncover a role for TARDY ASYNCHRONOUS MEIOSIS in regulating the translation of major cell cycle genes at high temperature. Image credit: Cédric Schindfessel.

Plant–pathogen interactions have long been described as an evolutionary arms race, with both sides continuously developing new molecular strategies to gain

The importance of seed size for the plant's life cycle cannot be overstated, highlighted already in the writings of Darwin back in the 1800s as an importan
